Some things I bookmarked this week #4

Short list this week. Not for lack of bookmarking (god, no) but because most of what I tucked away is for christmas gifts to make or buy, chronic illness coaching exemplars, and planning for our Toronto trip next month.

“Pain is temporary” by Eric Thomas transcript – Temporary and transformative. I ended up with an mp3 of this somehow, and finally tracked down a transcript. The video was removed, but you can find a bunch more with a quick yt search.

This column will change your life: consumer options | The Guardian – “Might it not make sense, then, to comparison-proof your own life? This is one good argument for pursuing a long-held eccentric career ambition over something more conventional: if nobody else you know is a gherkin wholesaler, or a goat farmer, you’re much less likely to feel gnawed by the sense of not measuring up.”

KK is addicted to these green tomato pickles, but they’re tough to track down locally and cost about $7 a jar. I’m hoping I can use this recipe to make some smaller batches of our own. (I also got 4 books from the library on canning and preserving.)
